Manslaughter's TM:B Ending *spoilers*

I'm not sure if this is supposed to go in fanfic or not, but I thought it would fit better here. 

Anyways, is Manslaughter a.k.a. Black(I'm going to say Black from now on, don't mistake for Black as in the game, but the character) based on TM1's story with Mr. Ash?  In TM1, Black was with Calypso, but Mr. Ash took Black back to hell with him, and Calypso was obviously angry about that. 
Now, Black's story in TM:B makes me think, still even after completing his story many years ago.  Was Black sent by Mr. Ash to take Calypso down?  And if so, why?  Black was once a servant to Calypso(I assume), and maybe Mr. Ash brainwashed Black to kill Calypso. 
Now, going even deeper, why does Mr. Ash want Calypso dead, if he were to have sent Black to kill him?  And if Mr. Ash has nothing to do with this, then why is Black out to kill Calypso? 

I just want some of your guys' input.  I have many theories, but no clue which one is close to being correct.  Maybe Black's story was supposed to go deeper in Harbor City?  Too bad we will never know.

Yeah, I believe Black would have been more developed in TMB2. In TM:Lost (the Harbor City lost levels from the PS2 TMHO port) the bio for Manslaughter mentions that Black was sent by the Calypso of the more colorful TM universe on a mission to kill TMB Calypso, ... so the implication is that TM1 Calypso sent the demon he stole from Mr. Ash to the Black alternate reality to kill TMB Calypso, who (because TMB is in the mind of Needles/Marcus Kane) I guess represents the part of Sweet Tooth that may pose a threat to Calypso himself? I can kind of imagine Black's failure to kill Calypso the first time resulted in the Head-On reality where Sweet Tooth is suddenly more like his Black counterpart in appearance, and has a desire to dethrone/kill Calypso, whereas the original Sweet Tooth was a more unpredictable and eccentric psychopath who didn't pose a real threat to Calypso (although I'm aware he took shots at him in the TM1 lost ending).

Incog really broke ground, as Black was one of the first ever LGBT characters in gaming!

I forgot that TM: Lost had Bios for characters...maybe I should have checked.  But even though that's like a sweet inception, it makes sense.  And yes, Sweet Tooth did take shots at Calypso with an SMG out of the driver side window.  Then the girl taken hostage pulls out a gun, and puts it to Sweet Tooth's head, at Calypso, and demands Sweet Tooth's truck.  That's the end of movie. 

Thanks for clearing that up for me though!  I really wish TM: HC came out now.  Black's story is one of the most unique in TM: Black because of the mystery behind it. 

@Roadie, LGBT?

I stand corrected Mosh!

GeneralChaz9 - LGBT = Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender

Black is.... well...

Totally into Kink. Hes got a full on gimp suit, and his desires for eating, shitting, killing, and wanting calypso really seal the deal at him being Gay, Bi, or really kinky in general.

This literally ruined everything I liked about Black's story... Thanks Roadie. xD
